(Temporarily closed. Re-opens on 2 July 2026 at Kerkstraat 19 in Arnhem) Plant-based dishes were long thought of as rabbit food (konijnenvoer in Dutch). Thanks to places like this, those days are over. Demian Parasmo and his team bring together local ingredients and creative ideas, often infused with influences from the Mediterranean and further afield. Fermented flavours and playful textures bring each plate to life. Oyster mushrooms from Arnhem, for example, are fermented in shio koji and barbecued, yielding a rich umami taste. These are served with a yeast crumble, a hazelnut cream and wild

With its stained-glass windows, sculptures, murals and old pews, this Lutheran church has been beautifully preserved. The juxtaposition of modern opulence with the venue's rich past is truly inspired. Take in the spectacle of the open kitchen while enjoying a meal prepared right before your eyes. Nestled in the church's rafters, there are a few cosy guestrooms. But first, it's time to let yourself be spoiled by Bart Leussink, a chef who embraces creativity and boldness in his cooking. For instance, he elevates lamb neck with a crispy herb crust and lamb fillet with a vibrant sweet-and-sour cuc

Jin Hu lives according to the rhythm of the micro-seasons and lets nature determine his creativity. Local artisans inspire him, and he uses every part of his own livestock. This close connection and respect for his environment are the common thread running through his French/Asian fusion dishes. Pure. Intense. For example, the chef surrounds al dente leeks with a delicate cream made from the vegetable, salty cockles from the North Sea with chives and a butter sauce with yuzu for a delicate freshness. Surprises lurk in every dish here, as they do in the special selection of natural wines and sp

Giulio keeps the traditions of his native Sardinia alive in this cheerful trattoria. He makes his own pasta and bread every day, and the orata (gilt-head bream) in a salt crust is even filleted at the table. Here the Italian art of simplicity is at its most exuberant. House-made pappardelle with a creamy duck sauce, an aromatic panna cotta topped with a subtly flavoured juniper jam... Da Giulio is undeniably the best Italian in Arnhem!

This is the kind of cosy neighbourhood restaurant where locals gather to indulge in appealing tapas-style creations that showcase regional ingredients. Chef and owner Rob takes a straightforward approach when it comes to bringing bold flavours to your plate. The crispy brioche toast topped with smoked eel, sour cream and green apple is a wonderful starter. Or you might try the crispy veal sweetbreads served with a veal jus seasoned with cumin. Conviviality is the name of the game, and the menu of shareable dishes certainly reinforces that. Dinner at Loca is the perfect excuse to venture out of

De Kromme Dissel represents a piece of Dutch culinary history, having retained a MICHELIN Star since 1971. It is set in a 17C Saxon farmhouse that has a charming rustic interior and crackling fireplace that exude timeless warmth. Maître d' Ronnie Brouwer and his team provide attentive service and expert wine recommendations; seasoned chef Tonny Berentsen breathes new life into classic cuisine with creative ideas. Drawing inspiration from his travels through Asia, he elevates a venison jus with five spices to tease extra nuance out of venison saddle. Another standout: succulent quail breast rou
